Performance Practice: Issues and Approaches 
Call for Papers and Performances

The Department of Music of Rhodes College invites proposals for papers and
performances for a conference on "Performance Practice:  Issues and
Approaches," to be held 4-6 March 2007.  The conference will feature
scholarly papers and roundtables on issues related to performance practice
as well as performances and lecture recitals illustrating approaches to
historically informed performance.  Proposals on a wide range of topics
are encouraged, including, but not limited to, issues relating to specific
composers, geographic areas, and periods of music history from the Middle
Ages to the twentieth century, performance practice of repertoires outside
the traditional canon of Western music, and the impact of technology on
performance practice.  It is expected that papers selected for the
conference will be published.

A highlight of the conference will be the keynote address by Christopher
Hogwood, one of the leading figures in historically informed performance.  
This address will constitute the Rhodes College 2007 Springfield Lecture
in Music.  A performance of Mendelssohn's St. Paul by the Rhodes Singers,
Rhodes MasterSingers, soloists, and members of the Memphis Symphony
Orchestra will also be featured as part of the conference.

Abstracts of papers appropriate for the conference should be sent by mail
or (preferably) e-mail to:

Dr. Tim Watkins (watkinst em rhodes.edu)
